After suffering a devastating blow in the ring, Patrick Day failed to regain consciousness after a boxing match on Oct. 12. Four days later, Patrick sadly passed away from his ‘traumatic’ injury.

It was a knockout loss that cost Patrick Day’s life. The junior middleweight boxer was knocked out in the ring by 2016 U.S. Olympian Charles Conwell, 21, during the 10th round of their match at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Saturday, Oct. 12 — Patrick’s head hit the canvas, and the referee immediately stopped the fight. But the boxer, just 27 years old, had a seizure, went into a coma and underwent an emergency brain surgery, TMZ reported. On Oct. 16, 2019, Patrick sadly succumbed to “the traumatic brain injury” sustained from the match, his promoter, Lou Dibella, announced in a statement that he issued to HollywoodLife — you can read the full message, here.

“He was surrounded by his family, close friends and members of his boxing team, including his mentor, friend and trainer Joe Higgins,” Patrick’s promoter added in the statement. Patrick’s competitor, Charles, was grief-stricken over the fight, never intending to cause such a serious injury. Two days before Patrick’s death, Charles issued a statement on Instagram which partly read, “If I could take it all back I would no one deserves for this to happen to them. I replay the fight over and over in my head thinking what if this never happened and why did it happen to you. I can’t stop thinking about it myself I prayed for you so many times and shedded so many tears because I couldn’t even imagine how my family and friends would feel.”

Here’s what else you should know about Patrick, who will be missed dearly in the boxing community.

1. Following a successful career as an amateur boxer, Patrick turned pro in 2013. In the span of just one year (throughout 2012), Patrick locked down two Nationals titles, won the New York Golden Gloves tournament and became a U.S. Olympic Team alternate. After going pro the following year, Patrick won the WBC Continental Americas championship in 2017 and the IBF Intercontinental championship in 2019. By June of 2019, he was “rated in the top-10 by both the WBC [World Boxing Council] and IBF [International Boxing Federation],” his promoter wrote.

2. Patrick logged in 17 wins out of 22 total bouts. That means the boxer has won more than 70 percent of his fights since turning pro in 2013.

3. Patrick holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Wellness. He earned the degree from Kaplan University, after obtaining an Associate’s degree in Food and Nutrition from Nassau Community College.

4. Lou said Patrick “didn’t need to box.” Some choose to box as a means to survive, but it was just Patrick’s passion. “Patrick Day didn’t need to box. He came from a good family, he was smart, educated, had good values and had other avenues available to him to earn a living,” his promoter, Lou, wrote in the statement announcing the boxer’s death. He added, “Boxing is what Pat loved to do. It’s how he inspired people and it was something that made him feel alive.”

5. Patrick hails from Freeport, Long Island. Patrick’s hometown was a small seaside village in New York. His promoter described him as “a beacon of light and the star pupil” in the village’s gym, Freeport PAL, where he trained throughout his boxing career.

Charlize Theron played a game of ‘Would You Rather?’ during her appearance with Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Oct. 15 and spoke out about the romance rumors between her and Brad Pitt.

Charlize Theron, 44, was quick to spill the beans on whether or not those rumors that she dated Brad Pitt, 55, are true when she sat down for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show! The blonde beauty appeared on the show, which aired on Oct. 15, along with fellow actresses Nicole Kidman, 52, and Margot Robbie, 29, to premiere a new teaser for their upcoming film Bombshell, which will be released in Dec., and at one point during the interview, they all sat down for Charlize to play a game of “Would You Rather?” The object of the game is to choose one man she’d date between two that are shown on a screen and the Academy Award winner made a joke about the rumors when Brad’s face came up alongside actor Michael B. Jordan‘s.

“I did not date Brad,” Nicole jokingly said when his face appeared on the screen. “No, but I apparently did. I had an entire relationship that I didn’t even know about,” Charlize hilariously responded before Ellen pointed out that they sat together at an event, which is how the rumors of their non-existent relationship started out.

The high-profile stars were thought to be dating after they were reportedly seen spending time together at the bar at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont after attending movie screenings in Jan. 2019. “Brad came over to Chateau afterwards, changed his outfit and joined Charlize in a corner of the bar,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife in Jan. “She was on a vodka cocktail while he stuck to mineral water. They were ridiculously touchy-feely and his arm was around her back. At one point he winked at her. Brad seemed in a really good place — they both looked really happy.”

Although the reported outing didn’t lead to anything long-term, Charlize has her friends, Nicole and Margot, to help her find a man! The actresses assisted her in picking some of the other choices of men she had during the “Would You Rather?” game, including Milo Ventimiglia, 42, The Weeknd, 29, and even Nicole’s 55-year-old ex Lenny Kravitz! It proved to be all in good fun and single Charlize didn’t seem to mind all the good-looking guys staring back at her.

Chris Brown spent some quality father-daughter time with his very happy five-year-old, Royalty, and the video of them shooting hoops together at an arcade is too cute for words.

Rihanna. Ammika Harris. Chris Brown has been connected to plenty of famous women lately, but there’s another girl who’s actually his number one — his daughter, Royalty Brown! The five-year-old is the apple of her dad’s eye, and they have tons of fun together on their father-daughter outings. A new video on Royalty’s own Instagram page (yes, a kindergartener has more followers than you do) shows herself and Chris shooting hoops at an arcade as they laugh and smile. Royalty is actually kicking Chris’ butt during this game. The adorable kiddo can’t exactly see the basketball hoop from the ground, so Chris has hoisted her up on the cabinet. Wearing a cute, orange jumpsuit, Royalty tries her best to score, and she totally does. Frankly, Chris should be embarrassed by how thoroughly a five-year-old is whooping him!

If it wasn’t clear enough from her gigantic smile and laughter, Royalty’s so happy to be hanging out with dear old dad. The video was captioned, “IM SO GLAD TO SEE MY DAD!!”. Cute! Just a few days prior to their arcade date, Chris shared a video of Royalty that proved the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. In the video, posted October 10, Royalty busts a move to his 2005 hit, “Gimme That” after rolling up on a pink scooter. She clearly inherited her dad’s incredible dance skills if she can casually pull out a routine like that during a scooter ride. Chris’ daughter is taking dance lessons from famed instructor Deja Carter, and he’s definitely getting his money’s worth. Chris captioned the video, “Yo….😂😂😂😂😂….” and his famous friends were super impressed.

Justin Bieber commented, “STOP IT” then added, “SHES SO TALENTED.” Ty Dolla $ign, wrote “Super star!” while Ludacris left “DNA 🔥” They’re right; she’s a natural. She looked right at home when she appeared onstage with her dad at the end of his October 6 concert in Houston. A lot of kids would be intimidated, standing in front of thousands of screaming fans. But Royalty’s loving it all.

Whether it’s dancing, singing, or joining the WNBA, Royalty’s going to crush whatever she decides to do next. And we can’t wait to watch it happen.

Eddie Van Halen has reportedly been battling throat cancer privately for the last 20 years and is actively getting treatment for it. Here are five things you should know about the legendary musician.

Eddie Van Halen, 64, has been flying back and forth between the United States and Germany for years to get treatment for throat cancer and has managed to keep it quiet, according to TMZ. The famed guitarist of the iconic hard rock band Van Halen, was diagnosed with the cancer 20 years ago and has been successfully getting radiation treatment in Germany for the last five years, which is helping to keep the disease manageable, the outlet reported. Sources also said that there were times in the past when some of the cancer cells traveled down to Eddie’s throat and a doctor had to scrape them out. Although Eddie has been a heavy smoker most of his life, the cancer is suspected to have been caused by a metal guitar pick that he would often cradle in his mouth. Despite the diagnosis and years of treatment, he is rumored to be doing well on the surface for now.

Here are five things you should know about Eddie and his successful career.

1.) He is the main founder of Van Halen. The talented guitarist and songwriter, who was born in the Netherlands, started the band, which currently includes him, his brother Alex Van Halen, who plays the drums, his son Wolfgang Van Halen, who plays bass, and David Lee Roth, who sings, in 1972 and it went on to become one of the most successful hard rock bands of all time. Past members include original bassist Mark Stone, bassist Michael Anthony, who played from 1974-2006, singer Sammy Hagar, who sang from 1985-1996, and his replacement Gary Cherone, who sang from 1996 until the late 1990s. Their self-titled debut album reached number 19 on the Billboard pop music charts in 1978 and their song “Jump” from their album 1984 reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.

2.) His legendary guitar playing can be heard on Michael Jackson’s classic 1982 tune “Beat It”. Eddie played the famous guitar solo in the song and went on to play riffs on other hit songs, including the Jimi Hendrix cover song “If Six Was Nine” from the 2005 album The State of Things by David Garfield and Friends.

3.) He’s had injuries from stage antics in the past. Eddie had to have hip replacement surgery in Nov. 1999 after his 1995 diagnosis of avascular necrosis eventually became unbearable. The diagnosis was caused by injuries brought on by the antics and crashes he had on stage during performances.

4.) He was married multiple times. His first marriage was to actress Valerie Bertinelli, with whom he shares son Wolfgang, in 1981. They had Wolfgang in 1991 before divorcing in 2007. He then went on to marry Janie Liszewski in 2009.

5.) He had emergency surgery in 2012. The surgery was needed after he suffered a severe bout with the gastrointestinal disease, diverticulitis. It caused him to have to postpone the Van Halen tour that year.

Hailey Baldwin looked like she was having the time of her life in a newly released photo that proves she changed from shoes to sneakers during the reception at her wedding to Justin Bieber on Sept. 30.

Hailey Baldwin, 22, mixed style and comfort on her wedding day and she looked beautiful! In a happy photo from her wedding reception on Sept. 30, which was posted to Instagram by wardrobe stylist Maeve Reilly on Oct. 11, the new Mrs. Justin Bieber was all smiles as she wore white sneakers with her custom-made Vera Wang wedding gown on the dance floor during the reception. The blonde beauty has her head thrown back as she laughs in the glorious snapshot, and her 25-year-old hubby Justin appears to be dancing beside her in his tux. Check out the pic of Hailey in her sneakers HERE!

“The happiest bride I ever did see 😍 Thank you @verawanggang for @haileybieber custom dress she danced the night away in. And yes duh- sneakers,” Maeve captioned the stunning photo.

Hailey’s known for often including sneakers in her everyday looks so it’s not too surprising to know her wedding day was no exception. Although she started off the festivities in flattering white strappy heels, she looked just as good in the sneakers, which allowed her to dance the night away in a more comfortable manner.

Hailey’s latest sneaker-baring photo is just one of many photos from her and Justin’s wedding that have been going up on social media lately. The lovebirds, who were legally married at a New York City courthouse in Sept. 2018, shared their happiness with family and friends a year later in a celebration at a lovely location in South Carolina and it looked nothing short of spectacular. From cozy photo booths in which the couple showed off kisses and wedding rings, to celebrity guests, including Kendall Jenner, 23, the night was one to remember.

Chris Brown is at it again on Instagram! The sing left a string of complimentary comments on Ammika Harris’s latest post, featuring her artwork, with Chris calling her ‘so dope.’

Chris Brown, 30, is a huge art fan. But he’s an even bigger fan of Ammika Harris’s art, more specifically. The singer left a string of comments, complimenting Ammika and her incredible talent for her painting shared to her Instagram account on Oct. 11. “I finished my painting today,” Ammika began the caption to her anime style piece. “Kinda proud of my lazy ass.” Chris slid into the comments section of Ammika’s post and showered the artist with compliments. “You are so dope,” Chris wrote in all caps. “Bout time you started painting again. Now my partner in crime is back,” was his second comment he left, before leaving a final, “I’m proud of you babe,” on her post.

Ammika and Chris have been giving fans a lot to talk about besides their online back-and-forth. On Oct. 9, fans began speculating that Ammika could be pregnant with Chris’s second child — a baby boy. “So ready to say bye to this flu,” Ammika captioned the post that stirred rumors on, which featured her wearing a crop top and showing off her toned, flat stomach. And that’s not the only baby talk she’s been dealing with. In a Sept. 4 Instagram post, Ammika rebuked a follower who commented on her pic with, “When you got [to] hide the baby bump.” Ammika responded to the comment on her photo, which featured the aspiring model wearing a hoodie, with “When its [sic] all about the hoodie.”

Despite the prodding from fans, Chris and Ammika’s relationship status still appears to be fairly vague since rumors first circulated that the two were an item back in January 2018. For the past few months, the singer has been leaving a string of ‘thirsty’ comments on Ammika Instagram. At one point, he even asks her to ‘come home’ on a post from Sept. 23.

However, Chris has been leaving similar flirty comments on ex, Rihanna‘s, Instagram, as well. The two had a tumultuous relationship that even saw Chris assaulting Rihanna in 2009, resulting in a number of felony charges levied against him. The pair fizzled out, and Rihanna hasn’t seemed to show much interest in her former flame since then. But Chris has been making it a habit of doling out compliments to Ammika, as of late. Fans will have to wait and see what he leaves next for her to find!

In an emotional tribute, Demi Lovato remembered her friend Thomas, who passed away following a drug overdose on Oct. 8. The news hits close to home for the singer, who also suffers from addiction, and referred to it as a ‘terrible disease.’

Demi Lovato, 27, is urging her fans to remind their friends and family how much they love and support them. The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer suffered a devastating loss, losing her friend Thomas to a drug overdose on Oct. 8. “Devastated. Please hold your loved ones tight. Tell them they are special and that you love them. Make sure they know it,” Demi wrote on her Instagram stories on Oct. 9. “RIP to my boo @sirtruss.” In a second post, the Grammy nominee added, “Addiction is NO joke.. heaven gained a beautiful angel last night because of that terrible disease. I’m crushed and will always miss you @sirtruss. If you or someone you know is struggling please know it’s okay to ask for help.”

The news hits especially close to home for Demi, who has been incredibly transparent about her own struggles with substance abuse. The singer has suffered through her own overdoses and relapses, along with attending rehab more than once. In November 2010, she withdrew from The Jonas Brothers tour to attend a treatment facility in order to deal with emotional and physical issues she was enduring, including bipolar disorder and bulimia. Demi later opened up about how much she was relying on drugs during this time in her YouTube documentary, Simply Complicated, which debuted in Oct. 2017. She revealed that, as a teenager, she would sneak drugs onto planes, into bathrooms and throughout the night. By 2011, she began struggling with self-harm and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. Eventually, though, the pop star worked to maintain a fully sober life, and celebrated her milestone six-year sobriety anniversary in January 2018.

Then, things took a turn for the singer. In July 2018, an overdose nearly killed her, and she was rushed to the hospital after friends found her unconscious in her Hollywood Hills home. Demi broke her silence about the overdose in Aug. 2018, writing on Instagram, “This illness is not something that disappears or fades with time,” she explained. “It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet. I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond.” She completed several months in rehab and is now sober again.

Now, the singer appears to be happy and healthy. She’s been enjoying her life and even a new relationship with Bachelor franchise alum, Mike Johnson. All told, she appears to be in a good place. Even during these difficult moments, though, Demi is still using her influence to speak openly and honestly about the pain of addiction, whether she has suffered from it or lost a friend as a result of the ‘terrible disease.’ She has grown very candid about discussing her own battle with addiction over the years and using her platform as a means of reducing the stigma around those conversations. Demi’s really been paving her own way of moving forward, documenting her journey in Simply Complicated, taking to social media to share her experience, and writing music that speaks to her struggles.
